10gen (the MongoDB company) has announced a strategic investment and technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the venture arm of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This strategic partnership strengthens MongoDB’s position as the leading NoSQL database that enables users to quickly and easily code, scale, and operate applications, to closely align with the U.S. Intelligence community and address unique mission critical requirements. MongoDB bridges the gap between relational database management systems (RDBMS) and key-value stores – instead of storing data in tables and rows, MongoDB stores data in documents with dynamic schemas.
Global enterprises increasingly rely on NoSQL technology for storage of their application data in industries including Telecommunications, Financial Services, Media, Government and Technology, says market study NoSQL Market Forecast 2013-2018.
